HeartSmart: Information on Pets with Heart Disease

The HeartSmart website was created to improve the care of dogs and cats with heart diseases. The main objective of this website is to provide pet owners with a clear and credible source of information about veterinary cardiology. This resource helps pet owners better understand their pet's health and provides tools to help them actively participate in the recognition, treatment and prevention of heart disease.

The HeartSmart website was made possible through the generous support of the Barkley Fund. The Barkley Fund supports advancement of veterinary cardiology knowledge through scientific inquiry, collaboration with other specialists and training.
